Default No Brakes?

Just put in some new brake lines and now I have no brakes? Found that out riding down the 30 degree slope from the driveway into the street.

Anyhow, these obviously aren't complicated. I routed them exactly as they were before. The only difference in the new cables is that I bought two passenger length cables as the driver side was not long enough after the 5" lift. When I press the pedal, both cables are actuating the assembly at the rear tires.

Are their any videos or stickies that I can go through step by step to ensure that I didn't miss anything?

One observation is that the bracket where the two lines feed into is a little cockeyed and won't straighten out, but doesn't seem to be affecting the action of the cables.

I suppose I could tighten up the cables a little more, but I don't have a lot of room left.

Thanks. So would that be a clockwise turn on the adjuster screw to get the star wheel to engage? Do I need to pull the cotter pin and pin and disengage the brake cable first?

The manual states that the equalizer bracket needs to be no more than 1/8" off center. Mine is more than that. Will the star wheel adjustment correct for that as well?

Thanks for the manual Ping Eye!
